Very nice looking young man. You remind me of some of the college Deadheads I hung out with way back when Jerry was still with us.

Oooh! I like that one a lot.

This is not just a visit to the homburg nation, but an invasion! Some gorgeous homburgs you've displayed here, Nathan! Fair warning, but it may already be too late: homburgs are addictive!My last entry for tonight is the pride of my collection. I love these 1940s Royal Stetson De Luxes. This one is in particularly good condition and fits like a dream.
2-1/2 inch brim, 5-1/2 inch open crown.

Good one, Brent. Another fine entry into the nation.
I’m the same - I never saw them live. I didn’t start listening until 1993, which is around the time period I’m guessing your photo is from. Then I joined the military and Jerry died while I was overseas.I never saw The Dead live, but I do enjoy their music. College was a lot of fun…seems like yesterday and like a lifetime ago at the same time.
Thanks, Stefan. I have a few more worth posting sometime in the near future. And you might be right - I could very well become a permanent resident here!This is not just a visit to the homburg nation, but an invasion! Some gorgeous homburgs you've displayed here, Nathan!

Not my size….fortunately.It’s looking for a new home.
This could cause some marital stress, but I’m looking forward to it all the same!I confess to Stefan and all homburg lovers that they were the most difficult cases to examine in my census of the collection, but some gems will fall on other heads.
Pay attention: Large and small sizes.
News coming soon
Nice find and wonderful colour, Stefan.Forgot to post this one here.
GL homburg hat in Aubergine. Size 56 with the bound brim at 6cm and the crown at 10,5cm at the center dent. The crown patch suggests it's branded LG instead of GL, but it stands for Galleries Lafayette, the department store that is still in business today. Somehow I think this hat could have been made by Mossant. I bought it for the colour, which is one I've never seen before on a homburg (or a fedora for that matter).
Thank you, Steve. Several makers seem to have had an eye on the Lock&Co design for the crown patch without making it too obvious.Nice find and wonderful colour, Stefan.
The crown patch is somewhat reminiscent of Willoughby.
